“These were his instructions to them: “The harvest is great, but the workers are few. So pray to the Lord who is in charge of the harvest; ask him to send more workers into his fields.”
Luke 10:2 (NLT)
In this verse not only do we see Jesus pointing out the problem, but He also provides the solution. First, He reminds them who is in charge of the harvest, and then He asks them to pray for more workers. We can be comforted knowing the Lord is in control. He alone has the power to save, and He greatly desires to draw those living in sin and darkness to Himself. Today, let’s be reminded of God’s great love for all mankind and praise Him for His saving grace. Pray that God will allow us to be part of the solution, and plead with Him to continue to send workers so that His kingdom may grow and flourish.
Prayerfully,
Madison

In this verse, Jesus points out the problem. He explains that there are so many people living without hope, and so few who are willing to share the gospel with them. Often, we get too caught up in the chaos of our busy schedules, and forget our true mission – to share the good news of Jesus Christ with those who are hurting and without hope. Take some time today to pray that God will break our hearts over those who are lost and give us an overwhelming desire to see them come to know Jesus as their personal Lord and Savior.
Here we see Jesus giving His disciples specific instructions. God was sovereign enough not to send them out blindly but to provide guidance and direction. As we go throughout our daily lives choosing to live each moment on mission for Christ, praise God for the guidance and instruction He provides us, and pray that He will continue to make us sensitive to His leading and direct our every step.
